Solution

The correct option is D Regulate blood calcium level
Thymus gland produce hormones called thymosins. Thymosins play a major role in development of the immunity of an individual. It also stimulates the antibody production and differentiation of T-lymphocytes. However it has no role in regulating the blood calcium levels.
Blood calcium level is maintained by thyroid gland and parathyroid gland.
